Featured apps — Sponsored leaderboard

• Position is set only by an app’s total promotional spend on this board. Nothing else moves it.
• It doesn't reflect quality, reviews, or our organic ranking.
• Anyone signed in can boost any listed app, so whoever paid may not be the app's maker.
• Any amount from $5: you pay exactly what you enter, and it adds to the app’s total. Payments add up. There is no monthly reset.
• Equal totals: the app that reached its total first ranks higher, so a new payment needs strictly more than the total above it.
• Position is set when the payment confirms and isn’t reserved. If someone else pays more first, yours may differ.
• The #1 app also gets the banner under the homepage hero, labelled as paid. Positions 2 to 5 show in a labelled strip on the homepage.
• Board links are paid links: they carry rel="sponsored nofollow", so they send visitors but no search ranking.
• Unpublished apps don’t appear, and boosts paid by suspended accounts don’t count.
• Organic rankings, category leaderboards, reviews, launch votes and AI recommendations never read this board.
• All sales are final: a boost applies as soon as the payment confirms and isn't refunded. Card disputes are handled by our payment provider; a disputed boost leaves the board until the dispute ends.
